Weaning Age of Lambs Creep-Fed While Grazing on Marandu Pasture

Journal of Agricultural Studies, 2019
This study aimed to examine the weaning age (60 and 90 days) of lambs supplemented while grazing on Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu pasture. Production performance, incidence of worm infections, intoxication, and production cost of lambs, beside that body condition and occurrence of single or twin births in the ewes were evaluated, by two consecutive ...

Effect of Grazing Stubble Height and Season on Establishment, Persistence, and Quality of Creeping Bluestem [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1986
Creeping bluestem (Schizachyrium stoloniferum) was grazed every 6O-days to 15 or 30-cm stubble heights during the following 4 periods (seasons): (1) June, Aug., Oct. (JAO); (2) Oct., Dec., Feb. (ODF); (3) Feb., Apr., June (FAJ); (4) year-long (YL). Average diameter (37 cm) of piants grnzed in JAO and YL to lS-cm stubble was less (PC 0.05) than piants ...
